Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 25: Facebook has said its Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have helped remove 8.7 million pieces of child sexual images from its platform in the past three months.

Almost of these images (99 per cent) were removed before anyone reported them, Facebook said.

Facebook's "Community Standards" ban child exploitation and to avoid the potential for abuse, it takes action on nonsexual content as well, like seemingly benign photos of children in the bath. - IANS
